BIOS Optimization Guide Revision 10.8

[Adrian Wong]

We have just added the Bank Swizzle Mode and updated the Vanderpool Technology BIOS features today for the FULL BIOS Optimization Guide. This brings the BIOS Optimization Guide to 425 BIOS features. Below are excerpts of the BIOS features.

"Bank Swizzle Mode is a DRAM bank address mode that remaps the DRAM bank address to appear as physical address bits. It does this by using the logical operation, XOR (exclusive or), to create the bank address from the physical address bits...."

"Vanderpool is the development code name for the Intel Virtualization Technology (IVT). It is a extension of the Intel x86 architecture that allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on the same system. It does this by creating virtual machines, each running its own x86 operating system..."
